Though I don't think it's technically required, in other systems
(including the examples in the documentation) the biggest CPU gets
1024 "capacity-dmips-mhz" and the other ones are scaled to that.

The fact that cpu7 has different values for capacity-dmips-mhz and
dynamic-power-coefficient is surprising to me. I think what this means
is that at the same MHz this core can process more instructions than
the other big CPUs but that (at the same MHz) it burns more power
doing so. Is that really true? I thought that this core was
essentially the same as the other big cores but was simply anointed to
be able to run a little faster.
